Sesame Flaxseed Crackers

Amazingly tasty and healthy crackers made with sesame seeds, ground sunflower seeds and flaxseed meal. They are glazed with honey and a touch of salt so they have a wonderful combination of sweet and salty flavours.

Recipe from Apple Pie, Patis & Pate (also see fLAVORATOr)

Crackers
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
6 tbsp sunflower seeds, ground
6 tbsp sesame seeds, whole
3 tbsp flaxseed meal
1/4 tsp salt
5 ounces water
1 1/2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp canola oil

Glaze
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp warm water
salt

Mix all ingredient ingredients in a bowl until the dough forms a ball. Kead for 3 minutes. Let rest for 30 minutes. Divide into 2 pieaces. Prepare 2 baking sheets, greased or lined with parchment paper. On a lightly oiled surface, roll each piece of dough into a thin rectangular shape to fit the pan. Trasfer dough carefully onto baking sheets. Using a pizza wheel, cut dough into small squares. Bake for 20 minutes at 350F, rotating them half-way through baking time.
Brush with honey-water glaze and sprinkle with salt immediately after removing from the oven. The crackers will get crisp as they cool.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good cracker recipe for a while. I’ve tried several, but none of them turned out all that well. I wasn’t sure if the kids would go for these either, but to my surprise it was Cole who loved them the most! Tony and Cole had a picnic in our backyard together and Cole grabbed these crackers for them to eat. They ate them all! I only made half a batch, but still that’s a lot of crackers to eat in one sitting. I managed to sneak a few before Cole took them and I really liked them too. They sort of reminded me of sesame snaps, but not as sweet.  I think it’s the honey glaze that makes these crackers special. It adds just the right touch of sweetness that pairs very nicely with the sesame seeds.

    Wow these sound delicious Megan! I can’t wait to test them out, maybe next week 🙂 I love sesame snacks (they aren’t sweet…I think that’s what they are called) and would love them even more with a hint of honey…I’m excited 😀
